1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,200
Pride's really a it's a tough one

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,400
because I'm kind of sure that if every

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,440
one of us is honest at some point or

4
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,519
other we lift ourselves above someone

5
00:00:08,519 --> 00:00:11,120
else we kind of compare ourselves we're

6
00:00:11,120 --> 00:00:13,200
trying to figure out okay how can I be

7
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:14,960
okay I don't feel like I'm good enough

8
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,039
but I'm better than that person all all

9
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:19,720
of this kind of of comparison thing and

10
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,240
the obvious opposite of pride is is

11
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:25,519
humility so I want to lobby for a

12
00:00:25,519 --> 00:00:28,080
walking in humility a walking in a way

13
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,679
that we're not pretending because the

14
00:00:29,679 --> 00:00:31,720
best thing for me is not to pretend that

15
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,719
I'm better than somebody else or not as

16
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:35,719
good as somebody else but just say Okay

17
00:00:35,719 --> 00:00:37,719
God created me the way that he did as

18
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:40,239
long as I'm doing my best to walk in the

19
00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:42,399
way that he is leading me last night I

20
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:44,640
was with somebody a friend who had who

21
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,960
had earned a doctorate in an aspect of

22
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,199
of law the guy was already an attorney

23
00:00:49,199 --> 00:00:51,440
and then he spent eight years earning a

24
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,800
doctorate in international law and so

25
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,879
I'm struggling after I met with him I'm

26
00:00:55,879 --> 00:00:58,359
going shishkov what did you do uh a

27
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:00,800
little simple Bachelor degree and

28
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,879
nothing beyond that this this kind of

29
00:01:02,879 --> 00:01:04,799
stuff it's nonsense it's it's garbage

30
00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:06,880
really because if I knew that that's

31
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,080
what I needed to do I would have done it

32
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,640
I was available I I've never shut my

33
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,400
life down and so all I'm saying is that

34
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,119
walking in humility means that I I

35
00:01:17,119 --> 00:01:19,799
refuse intellectual Pride I refuse

36
00:01:19,799 --> 00:01:22,840
religious Pride I refuse the pride of

37
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,040
Personality or of place or of ministry

38
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,799
or achievement or family or any of the

39
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:30,520
things that I might claim because you

40
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,320
know what I'm no better than you are you

41
00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:34,119
know better than I am and that's the

42
00:01:34,119 --> 00:01:35,759
beautiful thing is that we've been

43
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:38,119
created in the image of God so that God

44
00:01:38,119 --> 00:01:40,840
could really make real to us our worth

45
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,399
and that that worth is something that

46
00:01:42,399 --> 00:01:45,560
everybody walks with
